The Proportionality of Women Graduated from the Professional Career of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at UNTELS: Analysis of their Academic Performance and Labor Field of Action

Abstract

This research seeks to describe the proportionality of women graduated from the Professional Career of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, analyzing their academic performance and the field of work action in which they are working. This study was done with the purpose of highlighting academic performance, and encouraging women to continue with this career, eliminating the myth that Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is not for women; In addition, this study will be a source of information for the National Technological University of Lima Sur, since, with this, action plans can be generated to increase the number of women entering in the coming years. Once the research has been carried out, it is concluded that the percentage of women who graduate in relation to the percentage of men, per academic semester 2012-II to 2018-II, is equal to 8.1%. Likewise, the weighted average of the academic performance of women graduated in the professional career of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, is 12.98, this represents a high average for the career; so it can be indicated that the 38 women graduated, have had a good academic performance. Finally, it is concluded that there is a high Spearman ratio of 0.822 between the weighted average by specialty with the field of labor action; These results agree with what has been indicated in relation to the fact that there is a higher qualification in the specialty of Mechanics (AM) with a weighted average range of subjects from 11.73 to 15.42, and according to professional practice reports, of the 38 women graduated from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering career, 25 are working in the field of Mechanical specialty. With these results it can be said that although the percentage of women linked to this career is still low; Women in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering have a good academic development, which is why women should continue to be encouraged to be included in the area of science, technology and innovation.

Virtual education and student perception of teacher performance in the distance learning environment

“…The Table 5 shows the results of the correlation of the global indicator of teacher performance (IGD1) with the IED5 indicator. The Table 5 indicated that there is a strong and significant relationship of 0.995 between the rating of the global indicator of teacher performance and the perspective towards personality attributes, and ability [36], in his quantitative, correlational research, determined that the intrinsic motivation of the students is related in turn to the interaction skills of the teacher. The student-teacher interaction reported by the students was positively related to their satisfaction and their "perceived learning", but not to the final grades.…”

The perception of Engineering students toward teaching performance on online learning during COVID-19 pandemic

“…One of the difficulties that the teacher evaluation process presents is recognizing the multidimensionality of its work, however, the evaluation carried out from the student's perspective is necessary, since its evaluation largely concentrates the attitude shown by the teacher in other activities involved in the university [18], [19]. Thus, evaluating teacher performance is the process through which it is possible to issue an evaluative judgment on the fulfillment of responsibilities during the teaching-learning process, providing its students with objective, reliable and valid information [20], [21]. Now considering, the current context, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis across the board.…”

Perception of professional skills acquired in online learning among electronic engineering students

“…The current world of work demands a set of key and strategic competencies, which go beyond theoretical or technical knowledge, but must take into account intrapersonal and interpersonal skills [12]. The contents of the study programs in general must be strictly linked to the activities that are demanded at the level of organizations or companies, especially in the case of engineering, where technology shows a constant evolution, in such a way that in the end its studies, students can be optimally integrated into the labor field [13]- [15]. A competency-based curriculum aims to ensure that university students demonstrate their learned capabilities after acquiring a combination of knowledge, skills, and abilities [16].…”
